Illustration for Intellectual Disability (Compulsory Care and Rehabilitation) Act 2003

Nothing in the Intellectual Disability (Compulsory Care and Rehabilitation) Act 2003 limits what is said in Part 2 of the Crimes of Torture Act 1989. You can still follow the rules in the Crimes of Torture Act 1989. This means that the two acts work together and do not override each other.
